An Lingrong after rebirth

Jiang Fuhai agreed and walked to Jingtai, let’s go!

Jingtai was so excited that tears fell, and he kowtowed to the queen repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Queen, thank you, Queen!"

Forget it, your mistress is still waiting, so go quickly.

"Jiang Fuhai led Jingtai away. Yixiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Shufei, An Lingrong is thinking about what good results this plan will bring to the Guarjia family."

Unexpectedly, Yixiu suddenly called on her, and she hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Today I have to teach the two princes calligraphy, so I don't have time. You are now in charge of the six palaces. How about I let you take care of the Guarjia family's matter?"

"An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked up at Yi Xiu, but she was surprised to find that the other person looked calm."

"An Lingrong reacted immediately. Did the Queen know? Did she know that what Guaerjia did today was her doing?"

But why? Why let me go?

"While An Lingrong was changing her mind, she could not think any more and said, "Yes, I will go to Xinghuaguan to see Guaerjia later."

Well, it’s getting late today, so you sisters should go your separate ways.

After saying that, Yixiu stood up and went into the inner hall, and everyone stood up and left.

"Shen Meizhuang took An Lingrong's arm and walked out. I see that you don't seem very happy? But don't you want to go see Guaerjia? If you don't want me to let Caiyue go back to the Queen Mother, I will go and see her for you."

"I didn't dare to tell Shen Meizhuang what I did in private. It's not that I don't trust her, but the reason why I took action against Guaerjia cannot be known to others."

He couldn't tell Shen Meizhuang either, because he was worried that the Queen would find out that he had done something to Guaerjia.

"An Lingrong shook her head. No sister, I'm just tired. There's no need to wait. I'll go to Xinghuaguan now. I'll trouble my sister to go to Rugu Hanjin to wait for the children to have breakfast."

What's the trouble? Didn't Hongjun stay at your place last night? I was going to go there anyway.

Look at me, sister, I even forgot this.

"Shen Meizhuang raised her hand and touched An Lingrong's forehead with some worry. Fortunately, fortunately, you don't have a fever. I guess you are a little tired. Then you should go earlier. Come back soon. I will wait for you in Rugu Hanjin."

An Lingrong nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I'm fine."

"Shen Meizhuang turned to leave. An Lingrong was about to leave when a voice came from behind her, "Madam Shufei!"

An Lingrong turned around and saw Jianqiu walking towards her quickly.

"It's Aunt Jianqiu who is helping Lian'er turn around! I wonder if the Queen has any instructions?"

"Jianqiu smiled and bowed to An Lingrong. Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to bring you a message."

"An Lingrong looked at the other person's expression, and a strange feeling rose in her heart again, but she still smiled and nodded and said, "If the queen has any instructions, aunt, just tell me directly."

"The Empress said that no matter why the Concubine Shu did this, it doesn't matter. The Empress is a concubine, and no matter if others are noble ladies or concubines, they are nothing to the Empress."

After Jianqiu finished speaking, she kneeled down towards An Lingrong and said, "The Empress is still waiting for me. I will take my leave now."

Before An Lingrong could say anything, Jianqiu had already turned and walked into the sky.

"An Lingrong and her servant were left standing there alone. It took An Lingrong a long while to come back to her senses, but she didn't say anything more about the matter."

"She helped Lian'er get on the sedan chair and headed for Xinghuaguan. Guaerjia was just running a fever, and by the time An Lingrong arrived, the imperial physician had already prescribed a prescription to reduce the fever."

"I went to the bedroom to check on Guaerjia. She was drowsy due to fever. This was all arranged by An Lingrong. She naturally didn't find it strange that Guaerjia was in this state."

"After all, high fever is just the first step. There is more waiting for the other party. After watching for a while, An Lingrong casually gave Jingtai a few words and turned away."

"The day to return to the capital is in the next two days. An Lingrong does not have time to waste on Guaerjia. Moreover, what tricks can Da Ying, who is hated by the Queen Mother, do?"

Three days passed in a flash, and the seemingly ordinary fever did not go away. Guarjia's condition became more serious.

"She is not just talking nonsense now, she is completely unconscious. But within half a day after the news came out, she got better again."

"Not only did the high fever subside, but the whole person gradually felt better. On the day when she had the opportunity to return to the capital, Guaerjia completely recovered."

"But for some reason, she hasn't spoken in front of anyone since she woke up. Even on the day she returned to the capital, when everyone was paying their respects to the Queen, she didn't say a word."

"The Queen thought that she was still ill and didn't care about these details. She ordered everyone to get on the carriages and head to Bauhinia City."

In the huge Old Summer Palace, there were only two masters left: the pregnant Concubine Qin and the fourth prince Hongli.

"One was used to living in the garden and had not seen the emperor for many years, and the other was a concubine who was thrown into the garden for the first time and was almost confined."

The current situations of the two people are somewhat similar to each other as never before.

…………

"During this summer vacation, two of them got pregnant, but one died and one stayed in the garden. It's really sad to talk about it."

"It has been more than a month since I returned to the palace. After the Double Ninth Festival, it has quickly entered October. The weather has gradually become colder, but the children still go to Jingren Palace every day to practice calligraphy."

On this day, An Lingrong finally welcomed Lin into the palace.

"So the emperor wanted Lin to meet An Lingrong in the garden, but the affairs of returning to the capital were too complicated and he just couldn't make time."

"It has been dragging on like this until today, when we finally had time to let Lin enter the palace. It is rare for my grandmother to enter the palace, so Yixiu directly gave Hongzhao a day off."

"It was just dawn. Without Lian'er calling out, An Lingrong woke up and moved her body. Lian'er outside heard the noise and said, 'Madam, you're awake!'"

Um, Lian'er, what time is it?

Your Majesty, it is just past the hour of Mao. You are not required to pay respects to the Queen today. Your Majesty should get some more sleep.

"No, my mother is going to the palace today, so I have to prepare early." Lian'er smiled and hung up the sand tent. "My lady, we have already prepared yesterday and are waiting for Madam to enter the palace."

Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much.

It's a rare opportunity for my mother to come to the palace, so naturally everything has to be prepared.

"Yes. Lian'er helped An Lingrong up and turned to prepare some water. But before Lian'er came back, Hong Zhao ran in wearing only a single layer of clothing."

Mother, mother, are you awake?

An Lingrong picked up her son and sat him on the bed. Why did Zhao'er wake up so early today?

"Mother, grandma is coming. I haven't seen her for a long time. I only saw her once when my younger brother and sister were born. So I have to get up early."

"Hongzhao's understanding made An Lingrong feel warm in her heart. She looked at her son and said, "My dear son, if your grandfather heard what you said, he would be very happy."

"If I see my grandmother later, I will tell her this sentence to make her happy."

"An Lingrong hugged her son, and the two of them leaned against each other. She felt an unprecedented peace in her heart. Now she also had a son and a daughter. This blessing was hers."

"As for others, why bother? Perhaps because of Hong Zhao's current situation, Yi Xiu specifically ordered early that Lin does not need to go to Jingren Palace to pay respects before entering the palace today."

"Then you can come directly to Chengqian Palace. However, Lin is cautious and does not want to make any mistakes and give others the opportunity to offend An Lingrong."

"We still let Yan Gui lead us. We kowtowed outside Jingren Palace and then went to Chengqian Palace. Yan Gui took the first two steps, and Lin and the maid walked behind."

"Although it was not the first time for the two to enter the palace, they were still a little nervous. Yan Gui led the two to turn two palace paths and said with a smile: "Knowing that the lady was going to enter the palace today, our Sixth Prince got up before dawn."

"I guess he must be waiting for Madam at the palace gate by now! When Lin heard this, her face was full of smiles, but she didn't say much about the child. She just smiled and replied: "Thank you for your hard work on the way."

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. If it weren't for the Concubine Shu, I'm afraid I would still be stuck somewhere else. I'm just here to pick you up, but it's rare that you would praise me like this."

"As we were talking, Chengqian Palace was right in front of us, but before we even reached the palace gate, Hongzhao's voice rang out from the front, "Grandma."

"Lin looked up and saw Hong Zhao jogging towards her. An Lingrong was standing at the door holding the child, looking at her with a smile on her face."

Lin quickly hugged Hongzhao who fell to her side.

"Hey, our little prince, slow down a little," she said, squatting down and touching Hongzhao's face. "It has been several years since I last saw our prince. He has grown so big now."

"Hong Zhao held Lin's hand and said, Grandmother, Zhao'er misses you so much, and mother misses you too."

Good boy, good boy!

Lin's eyes were also a little moist. She stood up, took Hongzhao's hand, and walked towards An Lingrong together!

Mother……

"An Lingrong murmured. Lin came up to her and was about to kneel down, but Hong Zhao pulled her back and said, 'Grandma, let's go in first.'"

"Lin turned her head to look at Hong Zhao, and then saw An Lingrong nod, then she smiled and responded, "Okay, okay, let's go in first."

"After entering the door, An Lingrong naturally couldn't let Lin kneel down to pay her respects. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat in the main hall in a moment."

Mom, it’s been almost two years since I last saw you. Are you okay?

"An Lingrong held Jin Yu in her arms, and her voice trembled slightly. When she was still at home, she had the feelings of a daughter for her mother."

"Now that I am a mother myself, I can better understand how difficult and sad life was for my mother before she divorced An Bihuai."

How much can you endure for yourself?

"Hong Zhao sat beside Lin and put his arm around her. Lin said, "Don't worry, Madam. I am living a comfortable life now. With Meiyun and the shops prepared by Madam before she entered the palace, there are no difficult days."

That's good, that's good!

An Lingrong responded and said: Mother, this is Jinyu, Lian'er, quickly ask Hongsheng to come over.

"After hearing this, Lin stood up, took Jin Yu from An Lingrong's arms, lowered her head to look at her, then raised her head and said with a smile: The princess is really pretty, she looks a bit like the queen when she was young."

"Grandma, grandma, Zhao'er is pretty too. Hong Zhao then stood up and walked to Lin's side, mumbling out."

This appearance made everyone laugh.

"It was already late when Lin entered the palace. After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch. An Lingrong took the children to have a good lunch with Lin."

After the children went for a nap, the mother and daughter had time to sit together.

An Lingrong asked: "Mother, I have heard a lot about the Liu family these days. I heard that Liu Yan passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi?"

"Mrs. Lin nodded. Yes, that child is indeed a good candidate for study. However, it was you, Rong'er, who suggested it back then. If you hadn't sent him to study in the capital, he might not be where he is today."

"Everyone has their own fate. Mother, please don't mention these words in front of the Liu family. Lin nodded with a smile. "Child, how could I say these words in front of them?"

It was your Aunt Liu who often told me that her brother and sister-in-law kept saying these things, and her ears were already "calloused" from hearing them.

"An Lingrong knows the Liu family's character. It's not surprising that they would be so grateful."

"Mother, I heard from the Emperor that he wants to send Liu Yan away, but I can't ask too much about state affairs. Where exactly is he going to be sent away?"

"I don't know about this, but I haven't heard from your Aunt Liu that Liu Yan will be sent out, so I guess this matter has not been finalized yet."

"Lin shook her head in confusion. She didn't know about this. An Lingrong wasn't confused either. Before the court affairs were settled, they would not be spread outside the palace."

"But I have another matter to attend the palace today. Your uncle Liu wants me to ask Rong'er what you think." Before An Lingrong could speak, Lin spoke again.

Mom, what’s going on?

"Maybe it's because Rong'er is free and has given birth to two sons and a daughter. Even though we have been keeping a low profile in Beijing these years and have not easily come into contact with others, there are still many people who come to visit us."

Now that Liu Yan has a certain talent for studying, there is never a shortage of visitors to the Liu family.

After Liu Yan passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, the number of people who came to visit him increased.

"That child is good-looking. In just a few months, several waves of people have come to ask for marriage, both openly and secretly."

"An Lingrong was surprised to hear this. Liu Yan is almost old enough to be married off. What's so fussy about this matter? Why does the Liu family need to ask my mother to ask for my opinion?"

Mother, who Liu Yan is going to marry is something they have already decided on, so why are you asking your daughter?

"I don't really understand this, but Liu Yan came to my house in person and asked me to ask you what you think. Mom, just tell me."

Lin raised her hand and said, "Don't be anxious, Rong'er. Let me think about what he said at that time..."

"Lin frowned and thought for a moment before speaking. He said that his sister's position in the palace was now stable, and those who came to the palace were bound to value his sister's status. He did not want to embarrass his sister because of his marriage, and was also afraid that if he made the wrong choice, there would be endless troubles and it would make his sister feel embarrassed, so he did not plan to marry now."

"Lin's words made An Lingrong feel a little warm in her heart. Her biological father only treated her and her mother as cash cows, but in the end, the people who treated her well were actually members of the Liu family who had no blood relationship with her."

The love in this world is really hard to understand.

"An Lingrong has also thought about whether the Liu family's words were intentional. But now that she is in her current position, she also has some hope for Liu Yan."
